I lost 27lbs, but then......

Since I last blogged, so much has happened.  I am happy to report that I lost 27 lbs!  I switched from Jenny Craig to the holy grail of meal plans.   Lindora!   I didn't visit a Lindora weight loss center, as some may think.  My friend suggested I follow the high protein, low carb meal plan that was given to her when she enrolled at Lindora.   It is my understanding that Lindora supplements participants with B12 shots and food products that are sold in store.  I decided to mix it up a bit and opted to skip out on the expensive Lindora shakes and bars-instead I swapped them for Atkins products.  Everything else on the meal plan remained the same.   In the first month, I had dropped a whopping 15 lbs!   I was so proud of myself.   I was able to find balance and still enjoy delicious foods, as long as I remained  mindful of my carb intake.  Everything was perfect!!! But then...... in the midst of my weight loss joy, I found myself pregnant both emotion AND a baby! :)

I am expecting my first little one-due April 2016.   I am enjoying every facet of pregnancy for the time being---- but as soon as my baby arrives, I plan to go full force into Lindora!  I got this! 

I did it once, I can do it again.

My pre- pregnancy weight: 166

Current weight:184

21 Weeks pregnant

I'll keep you guys posted. 

On a Roll

So why share another food post???   I say, why not?
Too soon? Oh well.

I've become a health nut of sorts (at least I'd like to think so).  I feel like I am doing a pretty good job at staying under the 1200 calories my Jenny Craig consultant advised me. Nevertheless, I must confess that I did not work out yesterday.  :(  That's a whole 2 days with out any activity.  I have been a little less motivated than the norm.   I, however; plan to change that today! There is absolutely no excuse for my laziness.  I need to ingrain that in my mind.   I MUST work-out today! No excuses.

Here's my Food Journal for 7/17/2014

BREAKFAST

LUNCH
Lean Cuisine- Roasted Turkey Breast.   It was reminiscent of Thanksgiving. :)   Oh, and those yellow spud looking things on the the right of my LC are not potatoes.  They are cinnamon apples!!  I was deceived. Ehh, they were still good.  I'm sure it's happened to some of you before.

DINNER
I've been on a Turkey Sandwich roll.  This time I added some crumbled Queso Fresco & avocado. That blob of red on my plate is none other than Sriracha.  Need I say more?

It's all about making the right choices, no need to starve yourself.
